A guestion being asked nearly all week, bY every TV station that broad cast in the thumb area of Michigan, ABC 12 Flint, CBS WNEM TV 5 out of Saginaw, Fox WMSH TV 66 Flint and NBC WEYI TV 25 in Clio.
Should those when the warnings to stay off the Saginaw Bay ice were issued and need rescueing by the Coast Guard or other rescue group pay the bill?
Since Sunday Nearly a week ago it has been above normal warm and warnings were issued by about every law inforcement agnecys, and the Coast Guard around the bay has been telling on TV & radio news broad cast to stay off the ice it isn't safe.
One man has died so far and at least a dozen have been rescued just this week. The ice just isn't safe at all and the winds don't make it any safer with it blowing out into Lake huron making flows , yesterday recued got caught on one such.
This week we also had record rain falls along with a foot plus snow melt. Lots of flooded rivers creeks and other water courses all flowing into Saginaw Bay. All that water also weakens the ice.
You can see those reports if you visit any of the TV stations listed above.
My feeling are if they have to be rescued off the ice by any LEO resuce division or the Coast Guard When the warnings have been issued they should pay the bill for fuel and wages.
Plus any equipment that has to be left on the ice, ATV, Snowmobiles, ice augers and shantys and shelters they should pay a pollution fine also.
I just can't see putting people in danger for those who refuse to listen and stay off the ice. Just leave them to their own divices and stop pollanting the gene pool.
Buy a air boat that can go across the ice and make the jump across cracks between land and floes.
